*[[Papaver Somniferum (Homeopathy)]]
* [[Opium Poppy]]
* [[omega-6 fatty acid]] ==Variations==
There are different types of poppy seeds. Some popular types are:
*Oriental poppy seeds – also called papaver poppy, this produces opium and is grown for commercial purposes.
* Although the drug opium is produced by "milking" latex from the unripe fruits ("seed pods") rather than from the seeds, all parts of the plant can contain or carry the opium alkaloids, especially morphine and codeine. This means that eating foods (e.g., muffins) that contain poppy seeds can result in a false positive for opiates in a drug test. However the results provided will not be the same for someone who uses opiates.
*People with cholesterol lowering drugs, nervous system depressants, suppress immune system, pain relievers and opiates should use it with caution.
* Keep in mind that too much omega-6 fatty acids can damage your health. That is why balance is crucial.
